I walked in the store and perused for a while. Was in a dilemma between dynasty warriors 10 and this game 7 days to die. It had horrible raitings from online bc of bugs.
   
   This game is amazing. The way the detail in every part of the game makes so much sense. I started out in the desert. I found this house and it took me a while to figure out how to get yucca juice but then eventually started getting better, tracking airdrops, and planning ahead to make sure that i would survive to the next day. Once i figured out how to build storage containers that changed everything. I thought i was pretty badass in the desert and then figured out that there was a much LARGER population of zombies next door. Fortunately it took me a while to reach the next sector or time zone of the map. The game is very detailed and I havent experienced any bugs and im prettty sure they patched it. You really have to play it and try it, very adddicting because of the open world and anthing can be resourced. I feel as if its minecraft with zombies and the graphics are better. I dont know what else to say but this was an incredible find at a random gamestop and im happy i chose to buy it.… Expand

You shoukd expect bugs and problems, if you can get past any problems you encounter, you'll likely enjoy yourself. I've had a blast playing the split screen co-op so far. Also, a common issue with the game is after it installs it might not launch properly, if this happens to you simply disconnect from psn, restart your system, or delete the game and reinstall it.… Expand

There isGame graphics are awful, and the game feels a little clunky. But the game is really solid. It is like a combo of Minecraft and DayZ. There is crafting and building structures, and a ton of survival elements where you have to monitor your thirst, hunger and overall wellness. Zombie AI is extremely stupid (but I mean they are zombies right?) and they pose very little threat once you have some decent items. But the game can be a bit challenging and is extremely fun to play with friends.
   
   I would recommend you get it if you have friends to play with but if not, eh maybe wait for the price to drop a bit.… Expand

   7 Days to Die is a survival horror post-apocalyptic crafting game that is a little bit of everything. In 2013, 7 Days to Die was green lit for7 Days to Die is a survival horror post-apocalyptic crafting game that is a little bit of everything. In 2013, 7 Days to Die was green lit for Early Access on Steam where it currently resides, receiving numerous updates over time. In April earlier this year, it was announced that Telltale games would publish 7 Days to Die and bring it to PS4 and Xbox One. Unfortunately, the game was released with numerous technical issues on console, contributing to low review scores.
   
   In 7 Days to Die, your goal is to survive. Each night will get gradually more difficult as zombies gain in numbers and become more aggressive. On the 7th night, you must survive a wave of the undead headed straight for your defenses. Fortify your base well enough and you will survive to the next week. Rebuild your defenses and repeat with a new horde of zombies spawning every 7 days. Simple right? There's more to it than just that.
   
   Upon starting the game, you're told to craft a few basic items. After that, the tutorial is practically non-existent. The mechanics of the game aren't clearly conveyed so the game can be very overwhelming, especially for those not familiar with the crafting genre. For the first few hours of my playthrough, I had no idea where to start or what I should consider a priority so I just starting picking everything up for 2 hours. The game gives you no story or context and told to have fun in a giant sandbox. I was so lost that I ended up searching online for some sort of direction.
   
   You will spend more time gathering resources and crafting items than you will in enemy combat. Crafting mechanics are akin to those in Minecraft and Fallout: hit everything and get resources to build your base and protect it tower defense style. Craft your weapons, craft your clothes, craft your base, craft everything. This, in turn, makes exploring for resources a huge part of the game. As the game is still in early access, the overall look of the game is really crude. It's not by any means a "pretty" game. Limited textures and landmarks make exploring unimaginative and repetitive. With poor animations, weak combat, and no clear objectives to follow, exploring is also difficult.
   
   The game features a simple day/night cycle. During the day you get slow enemies and zombies that aren't much of a threat, and at night, you get faster, more aggressive zombies that actively seek you out. In addition, you must also be mindful of environmental threats as you explore. These include your core body temperature, hunger, or if you are carrying items that emit certain smells that attract the undead among other things. To combat these threats, 7 Days to Die has a very involved skill system with bonus perks. These skills affect everything from scavenging, character and weapon speed, to the use and modification of weapons. Points are assigned to the skills of your choice with points obtained at leveling. Of course, you need to look everything up to make sense of the system.
   
   7 Days to Die offers 3 different modes to choose from. In Single Player, your goal is to survive for as long as you can without aid from other players. One of the game's saving graces is the ability to play couch co-op with a friend and team up to survive together. In this mode, outside players may attack and steal from you, making for a competitive playthrough. This is where the most fun you will have with the game takes place. Lastly, there is a Creative mode, for players that wish to explore and experiment without anything trying to murder them while they build their castles in the barren wasteland in peace.
   
   Despite the low scores that 7 Days to Die has been receiving, the game is fun and even more so with friends. Now that the game has had a few updates and many bugs patched, its easier to see the game for what it is. 7 Days to Die is the idea that sounds good in theory but ends up buckling under its weight in practice. Unfortunately, the game suffers from a sort of identity crisis. I play this game and I see emulations of Skyrim, Fallout, Minecraft, Dead Island, and Don't Starve rolled into one bogged-down game without tutorials.
   
   With a number of bugs still waiting to be patched, and a control scheme that was clearly not designed with console controllers in mind; 7 Days to Die is far from the game it could be. Is it worth the $30? Fans of crafting games and those looking for a challenging couch co-op game may say yes. Updates continue to be released to further stabilize gameplay and with new content being added periodically; it will be interesting to see where this game goes as it has already come a long way since 2013. For now, I would still wait for a few updates to release if you're planning to pick it up on the PS4.

Bugs, everywhere. Crawlng all over everything, everywhere you look (cue overheating in a winter biome)! They're all over me! In my eyes!! Someone help!! AGH!!
   
   *Ahem...*
   Moving on!
   
   Pros:
   + A lot of crafting options.
   + A well thought-out (albeit slow) progression system.
   
   Cons:
   - Buggy.
   - Until you have very good melee weapons, close range combat is not an option (you get hit from farther than you can hit).
   - Limited to four players.
   - With so few players, PvP is not really an option.
   - Graphically looks like a PlayStation 1 game.
   - Food and water degrade rather quickly, effectively preventing you from building unless you carry 3 meals a day worth of food and water on you. Just because food is a scarcity due to the whole, ya' know, end-of-the-world thing, doesn't mean you should stop eating like nothing happened!
   - Heat seems to be broken, you constantly overheat in some worlds. The only solution? A cowboy hat and bandana, while underwater with no other clothes on, because realism.
   
   In short, if you have no sense of the value of money, three friends, love PS1 visuals on a PS4 console, and find it entertaining to survive as long as you can as a naked cowboy in the buggy wilderness, go for it. It's an alpha that isn't advertised as such on console. It's definitely not a next-gen game, and it's definitely not finished. It's not worth buying in it's current state.… Expand
